Re: [GNC] A How-to question for new user of GNUCash

HI, There is no "receipt" for a normal transaction. If you create a Customer Invoice, however, then once you post and pay it, then you can print it with the payments. If you open the report options on the customer invoice report you can select "show payments" which will show the payments made

[GNC] A How-to question for new user of GNUCash

Hello I've just installed GNUCash to use instead of Quickbooks. Their intransigence about not being able to verify an installation of QuickBooks 2010 on a different computer when the old one has crashed has forced me to move. I use Quickbooks to do the accounts for a very small not-for-profit

Re: New User to GnuCash

Derek - Thx for this detailed suggestion. The light bulb is going on now and cleaning up the "view" helps a lot! I have another question. When I have opened 3 sub-account windows - they are all "pinned" in the same window pane as the main Accounts window pane - a tabbed approach. But from that

Re: New User to GnuCash

Jack, You've heard it twice, and I'll repeat myself: go read at least the Basics section of the Tutorial. It covers LITERALLY every issue you've raised thus far. Once you've read those chapters, I think you'll be clearer about Gnucash and its use. David On December 15, 2017, at 12:11 AM,

I think I'm getting that understanding a little bit. Thanks! Debit Checking Account - Credit Rent - paying a bill and knowing why (even though in my Quicken mind the Rent account is just a category) I found a Transfer transaction on the tool bar that accommodates the type of transfer I am used

Re: New User to GnuCash

Hi Jack, I'm also a convert about a year ago to GNUCash. They are *all* real accounts. But if you are like me, your institutional accounts are not really in expenses where most of the category accounts lie. I have my traditional bank accounts in Assets (as well as brokerage accounts, home

Re: New User to GnuCash

Thanks for the feedback! I'll get to that and read thru. Then if I am a typical Quicken fool I'll be back for more direction! I'm wondering then if there is a way to designate the "real" accounts in the massive Account Listing so i can see/sort or make those stand out from the "non-real"

Re: New User to GnuCash

Jack, Welcome to Gnucash, and welcome to this list. Before you tinker with the account structure in Gnucash, I strongly recommend that you read the Basics section in the Tutorial & Concepts Guide (available on the Gnucash website). The 4 chapters there will give you a better understanding of

I dropped Quicken finally and have been trying GC for a few days. So far it seems like a great replacement but I'm a total noob. My first question: I did an import from Quicken and I guess I misunderstood the terminology differences. When I look at the GC Accounts window - it is a complete
